Food

Are there any threads that have to do with breeding food? I would really like to try get some live foods going.

 

There are quite a number of threads on BBS (Baby Brine Shrimp), I'm pretty sure theres a thread on here on breeding microworms, also on daphnia with green water if I'm not mistaken.

Do you want to know what live foods are available to breed for yourself, or just if there are already threads in general on the subject?

i tried to cultivate grindal worms, which someone sent me a starter culture- but they died in transit. my personal opinion is that i would rather buy the freeze dried foods from someone like the professor as ge has a wide variety, good prices and its a lot less messy than cultivating them myself.

 

Thanks guys. I suppose I'll give it a miss. Frozen seems easier.

 

Thanks for all the links Ferryman, I am already having success with my worm breeding, so I am going to try my hand at doing it with crickets. My first attempt did not go too well, but I think I am better prepared for my second attempt.
